Converting FAA PPL to UK equivalent

Hello! I'm looking at getting my PPL, with the ultimate goal of going for the ATPL modular route.

I'm interested in doing the PPL over in the USA, mostly due to the weather which I've heard can be quite frustrating when trying to do a PPL in the UK.

I'm just wondering what would the process be to convert the FAA PPL into a UK one. I've read about only being able to fly USA registered aircraft with an FAA PPL, which would potentially make the hour building difficult.
Has anyone done this before that could maybe shed some light on the process for me? Would it just end up being more effort than it's worth?

I'd really appreciate any insight, thanks!
